(CS) A drunk driver on Thursday night lost his licence after a failed handbrake turn saw him smash his car into a concrete bollard.

The driver was speeding along Rue Emile Mark in Differdange around 11.30pm, aiming for a handbrake turn into Avenue Grande-Duchesse Charlotte. However, he smashed the rear of his car over a concrete bollard on the pavement.

He then fled the scene.

The car was, however, found parked outside his home by police. An alcohol test was positive and police confiscated his licence.
